A.
Studies have shown that two thirds of people prefer learning and
understanding visual sources to text sources - visual sources are more
effective.

Maps provide an easily accessible global view of business systems and
processes. Maps show at a glance how systems and processes interact and where
the critical system points are. Maps enable you to easily identify connections
that are not necessarily visible in a text, and to quickly get to grips with the
abstract parts of your enterprise.

Q. How much does it cost?

A. Our prices range from thousands to hundreds of thousands depending
on the size and complexity of the project – we will be pleased to give you a
free quotation with no obligation.

Q. Are templates available so I can create my own map?

A. We can create templates to order and will be happy to provide a
free quotation.

Q. Do you offer a service to
update the map?

A. Yes, we provide ISO 9001 certified processes for review and
updating our maps. Many organisations want to have their maps updated because
their resources change over time and because our continued involvement gives
them an independent gatekeeper of their overall systems review process.

Q. What size is the map?

A. Maps can be printed in any size restricted only by the size of the
media – or the size of your wall! We normally produce standard ISO and
Architectural sizes.

Q. Can I have an electronic map?

A. Yes, maps can be provided in both hard copy and interactive
electronic format.

Q. How can I get a copy of the
map printed?

A. We can provide maps in a standard printable file format, or will
be delighted to quote for printing copies of the map on our special-purpose
large format H-P colour printers.

Q. Is it possible to hyperlink
electronic maps?

A. Yes, it’s possible either to create hyperlinks to maps or links
from maps to other documents.

Q. What type of information can
be displayed in a map?

A. Maps can display real life objects such as IT systems, but also
abstract concepts and ideas such as business processes or government
regulations.

Q. What services do Fintecs offer
for generating maps?

A. The finished map
represents only part of the value which our consultancy services add to an
organisation. Our analysis service, from which maps are generated, provides
vital understanding for clients of their own systems and business processes and
how they interact.

Q. Can the maps be updated
easily?

A. We provide a service to update maps on a regular basis and we can
also provide maps in electronic form that clients can update themselves, or that
can be driven by data.

Q. Why are maps better than text?

A. Because Maps provide an easily accessible global view of business
systems and processes that shows at a glance how they interact and where the
critical system points are located.
